Sunday afternoon, I had the fortune to attend the matinee performance of “La Traviata”at the LA Opera. I had never imagined Verdi’s masterpiece set in 1920s Paris, but Marta Domingo’s production is beautifully atmospheric. The wonderful cast of Placido Domingo singing the baritone role of Germont, Nino Machaidze as Violetta and Arturo Chacon-Cruz as Alfredo were conducted under the able direction of James Conlon.
